The Fall - VARIOUS TIMES lyrics

Alright we're going to go back

to 1940

No money

And I live in Berlin

I think I'll join up

Become a camp guard

No war for me

An old Jew's face dripping red

I hate the prisoners

I hate the officers

There's no fight

I think I'll join,

a red rose,

Leave Belsen

I'll go to Switzerland

A human resistor

Don't think, ask him

Present :

I don't like them

said Ian

in his black-out threats

I think I'll drop out

Become a no-man

And live my rules

But I'm the sort that gets

out of the bath with a dirty face

Everyone I meet's the same now

No brains or thoughts

A good case for the systems we like and we get

A human resistor

Various times

Don't think, ask him

Future:

1980

Black windows

And smokey holes

My head is full of lead

And the beer is so weak

Since they got rid of time around here

Dr. Doom fresh from Salem

And the witch trials

The light of heaven

Time mistaken

Three places at once

A human resistor

Don't think, ask him

Ask him

Ask him
